Our key to greatness lies not in our ability to project ourselves to others as if we are putting ourselves onto a projector and creating an image of ourselves on a projector screen. Rather, our key to greatness lies in who we are which we can give to other people in a way that when they walk away from us, they are able to say in their hearts that they have taken away something with them quite extraordinary.

...And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I have asked myself once or twice lately what was my natural bent. I have no doubt at all: It is to look at each day for the evil of that day and have a go at it, and that is why I have never failed to have an acute interest in each morning's letters.

Geoffrey Fisher

However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.

James Schuyler

Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half.

Gore Vidal

Heaven means to be one with God.

Confucius

Men's hearts ought not to be set against one another, but set with one another, and all against evil only.

Thomas Carlyle

The dignity of his office is never impaired by the absence of efforts on his part to maintain it.

Charles Dickens

If you don't drive your business you will be driven out of business.

B. C. Forbes

When a person is down in the world, an ounce of help is better than a pound of preaching.

Edward George BulwerLytton

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent, unspeakable memories.

George Eliot

He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

Albert Einstein

All modern revolutions have ended in a reinforcement of the power of the State.

Albert Camus
